System requirements

[dchristie]

We are in the process of taking one of our 400 boxes and converting it to a dedicated Internet server. Can any of you recommend a minimum system requirement to accomplish this? For example, memory, OS version, etc. Thank you in advance for your responses. Dave

So, is the web server going to be used to serve static pages for Toni's Pizza in Abelene, Texas? Or, are you planning a web catalog ordering system for Sears Roebuck? More seriously, the HTTP Server Performance and Capacity Planning Guide might be a good place to start. Its an IBM book you can download from their library. The introduction to chapter 1 starts out as follows: "This chapter provides an overview of the AS/400 HTTP server that comes with OS/400 V4R4M0. The objective to give you a simple, concise introduction about the commonly used metrics for Web applications. In addition, you will find a methodology for Web application performance, along with some key concepts to help you understand how performance is measured on a Web-based application held inside an AS/400 system."
